Page & Plant: 1996-02-19 Osaka, Japan (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

Tomorrow is the 19th anniversary of yet another superb sounding Jimmy Page and Robert Plant concert on their final leg of the No Quarter tour in Japan.  This is the second from last show and I am uploading it a day early since I may be a little busy tomorrow and I have the time right now.

As I mentioned in the first Osaka show's upload a few days ago, this show would be the band's return to Osaka for a second show after playing the Nagoya, Japan concert in between the two Osaka concerts.  And the final concert in the Japan leg of the tour would be the 1996-02-20 show in Fukuoka, Japan.  I may upload it too later tonight just so I can be done with the 20 disc upload and move on to other requests and shows I want to upload.

This upload includes discs 17 and 18 of the full 20 CD Hoochie Coochie box set.

One thing I have failed to mention, and I really had forgotten about as well, is the band  did do five other shows after the Japan leg of the No Quarter tour ended.  They played the five shows in Australia up through 1996-03-01.  So I'll be adding those too as the dates approach for their anniversary.


And speaking of Australia, and as a heads up on some of the future shows I plan on uploading, the 1972 Australian leg of the only tour Led Zeppelin ever did in Australia began on 1972-02-15 in Perth, Australia.  Unfortunately; no recording of that show has surfaced yet.  But the next show Led Zeppelin played, which was on 1972-02-19 (or 43 years ago tomorrow) in Adelaide, Australia, is on the board to be uploaded as well as any other Australia and New Zealand shows that have surfaced from the 1972 concerts.  I've uploaded a copy of many of these shows already in the past.  But there are some dates I haven't uploaded yet.  And for the copies I have already put up here, I will be uploading another label, source, or whatever of the date's show as the days arrive for the concert's anniversary.

Moving back to this Page and Plant show being uploaded right now, this is a superb audience recording and has a superb mix with all vocals and instruments being easily heard and at perfect levels.

Thanks goes to "Amduscia" for the EAC ripping and sharing of the whole 20 CD box set with us!

I hope you enjoy this show...

Led Zeppelin: 1977-06-21 Inglewood, CA (FLAC_AUD 1st Gen Remaster_3 CD)


NOTE: I recommend unzipping this one in a very short folder name because the unzipped folder name I used is a long one!

This show was requested by a friend along with a couple more.  I accidentally uploaded a copy with no "The Song Remains The Same" and this is the re-upload of the same recording but with "The Song Remains The Same" in it.

This is the Winston Remasters copy of the Mike Millard recorded Led Zeppelin show on 1977-06-21 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.  The previous copy I'd uploaded was this same two source mix too.  But the second source is barely used to just to fill some short gaps in the Millard recording.  The second source is an unknown generation or information source that you will notice when it gets used.  It is not anywhere close to the Millard quality sound.

Mike Millard recordings are some of the very best audience recording there are in my opinion.  He recorded a lot of bands but his favorite was Led Zeppelin and he gave us some masterpieces before his passing away in the early 1990's.

And Winston Remasters are some of my favorites too.  He seems to have not only the knowledge of how to work with audio correctly but also the ability to make the best remasters in my opinion.  Almost all Winston Remasters are better than other copies by label or fan remasters as far as I am concerned.  I didn't say "all" were, but definitely most of his projects exceed and come out the best sounding I believe.

Here is some additional information from Winston Remasters that I am doing a copy and paste of:

--------------------

Winston's Notes:
"I was contacted last summer by an FBO member named Wayne Catalde. He let me know that he had the cassettes and I was welcome to remaster them for a future tree as his way of giving back to the Zep Community. I was honoured to do so. I know many of you Zep fans probably have half a dozen versions of this historic show. The story behind these cassettes is what makes this so special to me. From the local tape shop were Mike bought his blanks. A person working there noticed this same guy coming in and buying up big amounts of blanks. He asked what they were for and Millard told him that he taped concerts.  They became friends and made a deal, Free blanks for Mike's taped shows.

I have listened to a lot of "low gen" sources for this show. They all have "Millard Markings" most common are cuts during No Quarter & the Guitar solo. Those 2 songs are complete. Mike would also put in pulse channel dropouts after his tape flips & and would put silent spots on some of the songs. I guess that is how he kept track of his trades. These are clean from those "Markings" and they are the best-sounding of all the low gen versions I have heard.

I want to thank Wayne for letting me remaster this show.
"

--------------------

So here we have it.  Millard's unmarked first generation tapes sound superb without any remastering too, but with the Winston Remasters work they sound even better.  I've compared each of the Millard recordings that surfaced a few years ago with the work Winston Remasters has done on the Millard first generation unmarked tapes, and he has definitely made improvements to all of them he has worked on.  They are superb sounding.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Page & Plant: 1996-02-17 Nagoya, Japan (FLAC_AUD_ 2 CD)

Once again, it's the 19th anniversary of another Page and Plant show on their final leg in Japan during their No Quarter tour.  And this is another superb sounding recording too.  In fact, as I mentioned early on in the Japan show uploads, these shows get better and better sounding and the performances sound more and more Led Zeppelin like.  This one is one in a tie with the previous Osaka show as being the best in sound and in performance in my opinion.

This upload includes discs 15 and 16 of the full 20 CD Hoochie Coochie box set.

This is a super clean audience recording and has a superb mix with all vocals and instruments being easily heard and at perfect levels.  This almost sounds like a soundboard, but it is an audience recording of course.

Thanks goes to "Amduscia" for the EAC ripping and sharing of the whole 20 CD box set with us!

I've got things to do today so I am going to get this show uploaded now.  Review it for yourself because I cannot right now.  But I can guarantee you that you will enjoy the quality and performance on this one and only night in Nagoya.

We just have two more shows, the return to Osaka on February 19th and the final show in Fukuoka on the final day of the tour on February 20th.  And that is the ending of the last leg of the tour in Japan that started in Atlanta on February 28th, 1995.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Foreigner: 1985-09-17 Minneapolis, MN (FLAC_AUD 1st Gen_2 CD)

This is an great-to-excellent audience recording of a Foreigner concert from their heyday in the 1980's.  The taper did an good job of capturing the show too and it seems to have a pretty even mix from what I have listened to so far.  I have not listened to the whole show all of the way through though.  But I don't imagine it changes a lot either since the taper was doing a good job throughout it from what I've listened to.

I do like Foreigner's music, however, I never did a lot of collecting of it.  Even the studio CD's that were popular were not something I bought many of.  I think I bought Foreigner 4 on LP and CD, and then I bought one more Foreigner CD near the end of the Lou Graham days but was really disappointed with it.  I have collected a number of shows over the years that are RoIO, but not a large amount of them either.

Seeing Foreigner open for Journey a few times, and then again again a few years back with the new singer, I was blown away by the great sound they had in the more recent show I saw.  I recorded that show too of course.  I even video recorded it and Journey but was not in the best of seating and too far back to get any type of excellent video recording.  And ironically, for a few shows, the one I was at being one, Mick Jones was sick or something and not playing that night and had the guitarist from Night Ranger filling in.  So there was no original member from the band playing that night.  But they rocked out and did a superb job.  I need to get my digital audio from that show and make an upload of it sometime soon.

I've seen Foreigner in the latter years of their career, from 1995 on, and only once with Lou Graham in 1999.  They opened for Journey and I recorded both shows.  It was really sad seeing Lou Graham struggling so hard to pull off a good sounding show.  And sadly, the show was not good sounding either.

For those who do not know or recall, Lou Graham had a near death medical problem when a brain tumor was discovered after he left Foreigner.  And as he rejoined and I saw them in 1999, he was having a very hard time remembering the lyrics and the songs.  It was a side effect of the removal of the tumor.  So he really is not to blame for the show sounding bad.  In fact, I have a lot of respect for the guy for even trying.

Lou Graham, like myself, is a Christian and he has done some solo tours in recent years and fully recovered from his surgeries and tumor removal.  From what I understand, he made a Christian based CD which did well.  I believe this was during my time in life when I was away from music after my eye surgeries for about four to five years.

I've never heard the CD he made but I did hear one song from it on the radio one day and it sounded great.  But in today's world, and sadly so, if something is branded as Christian music it gets put into a category that doesn't make the regular FM radio stations that play rock 'n' roll.  And it really gets swept under the carpet too.  It isn't right, but it is what happens.

Thanks goes to the taper, requesting to remain anonymous, and to the person who shared this 1st Gen recording, "mrbakeman", for making this recording available in January of 2014 via Dime!  It's always nice to her and old show with known lineage like this.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Led Zeppelin: 1975-02-16 St. Louis, MO (FLAC_SB Remaster_3 CD)

In celebration of this concert's 40th anniversary, here is the soundboard to the St. Louis, Missouri show that rocked that city 40 years ago tonight.  This is another superb sounding soundboard of a Led Zeppelin 1975 show too.

I personally like the copy I uploaded here in the past the best.  But no matter what label or copy you find of this show, barring a terrible fan remaster of course, you'll have a superb soundboard when you get it.

(1) 1975-02-16 St. Louis, MO (SB/Bertha Remaster)


These are some notes I'm copying and pasting from someone involved with Bertha Remaster projects.  This is what he had to say on this Bertha Remaster copy as well as what the Bertha Remaster projects normally consist of:

----------

"Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed "Bertha", by jashley@deadacated.com.  Completed on January 11, 2005. Under Spectral and Wav analysis, the original source was found to have excessive audio compression applied, and some type of noise reduction. 

By listening test only, the original source was found to have excessive high end eq applied. Together, the audio compression and eq have resulted in a highly abrasive sound at flat setting. The noise reduction was well done and did not affect the "Bertha" process.

Most "Bertha Remasters" are done using original, unprocessed sources.  The less that has been done to an original source the better the results.  Reversing the effects of a highly processed source such as this one is very difficult.  I did not expect much, but I am pleased with the results.

The original track timings were used for retracking.
"

----------

While I agree that the Bertha Remaster recordings I've heard usually are the many times the best sounding sources, this is not always the case.  In this specific case, I like the Liquid Led label's Better Late Than Never copy best so far as far as sound goes.  It is the copy I uploaded here in the past.  But no matter what I like, both copies are above superb sounding.

The mediocre Trader's Little Helper lossiness test indicates that some frequencies were likely cut (from my understanding at least) by Bertha in this remastering.  It is not a lossy recording and that is a fact.  But don't let TLH, a great and resourceful piece of software except when it comes to testing for MPEG sourced material, worry you about any lossy properties.

As for the work done and the lineage, more is given above in the description than was given in the share.  So the short desription is "EVSD > Bertha Remaster work" and that's what we have.

(1) 1996-02-15 Osaka, Japan (AUD/Hoochie Coochie CD's 13-14)

This is another superb sounding show and a more heavy rocking one I think too.  Jimmy Page is doing a lot of ad-lib guitar playing on the fly, just like in the old days, in the specific concert.  And Robert Plant is singing a lot more Led Zeppelin sounding this night too.

For those who have been collecting the live shows and recordings of Led Zeppelin over the years, you'll hear what I am talking about in reference to it sounding more Led Zeppelin like on this night.  You know how the songs were played through the years in Led Zeppelin and this night has a lot of the "old Zeppelin" styles of playing as well as some specific playing from years in the past.  Even a song Page and Plant played a lot, like "Heartbreaker" or "What Is And What Should Never Be", sounds much more 1970's oriented in this show than like a normal night of Page and Plant playing it.

The previous show in Tokyo, the 1996-02-13 show, Page and Plant played a lot more mellow songs and in a more mellow style.  But this first night in Osaka, they're rocking out a lot more and they still have the great mellow songs like "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" too.  This is a superb sounding show as well as a superb performance from everyone involved in the concert.

The new song for this night is "Wonderful One" and I don't think it had been played in any of the Japan shows in the previous six days.  Robert Plant introduces "Wonderful One" by simply saying "Here's a new song."  And I'm really glad "Ten Years Gone" was put back in too.  I've always loved that song.  After all, in years past we were told that is was a song about "the first love, the one you never forget."  And it really is even though it seems like it has been ten decades gone today!

The sample video below is from the 2 DVD LPCM audio Third Eye Productions remastered release a few years ago.  It is NOT the audio from this Hoochie Coochie 2 disc recording being shared here.  I'm just using it as a sample of the music I'm talking about as well as a glimpse into this night's show nineteen years ago.

Since nobody responded to my post when I mentioned I'd upload the DVD's for a show or two if anyone wanted them or asked for any of them, well, I'm not going through the work and time it takes to upload them then.  You can still let me know and I'll be happy to upload whatever when I have time later on.

I'm having troubles embedding the same video I posted on YouTube into this post for some reason.  So I'll just post the link to it on YouTube instead of wasting any more time.  I added the extra text at the beginning of the video and it's not on the original video.  Here's the YouTube link:.

Page & Plant: 1996-02-13 Tokyo, Japan (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This show is two days late for its 19th anniversary upload, but there was not much I could do about that due to plans I had for some time.  But I'm going ahead and uploading it now since I am up tonight.  These are discs 11 and 12 out of the 20 CD's Hoocie Coochie box set.

This was Page and Plant's final show in Japan's Budokan Hall in Tokyo as they were wrapping up their No Quarter tour in 1996.  I've uploaded the superb Third Eye Productions DL DVD of this show with tripod shot audience video and soundboard audio to my site already in the past.  And it is a DVD I highly recommend too.  It was my first video of the Japanese leg of this tour I ever saw (on VHS) many years ago and I could see the Led Zeppelin feeling in the band's faces in songs like "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Tea For One" this night especially.  I think it is one of the very best Page and Plant No Quarter tour videos of the shows that have surfaced.

Wrapping up the tour in Japan, they played ten dates which equates to 20 discs (2 CD's per show) and their next show, today being the 19th anniversary for it, was in Osaka, Japan.  I'll get that show uploaded later today.

One again, don't forget to give "Amduscia" a huge thank you for doing the EAC rips of his silver CD's and sharing them all with the music sharing communities like he has!  He has shared a lot of Led Zeppelin and related music with us over the years and I personally want to say "thank you" to him myself.

This is another superb recording by the way.  So far, all of the recordings from the Japan leg of the No Quarter tour have been excellent or superb sounding.  And that also means all of the Budokan Hall shows, this being the last one, have all sounded that way too.

There are soundboards for some of these shows also and I will one day (maybe next year) be uploading those shows too.  I've been really happy with the work Hoochie Coochie has done on these releases and I know you will be too.

Be sure to check out and join my new Facebook page.  And leave me some comments too.  If you have a show you want to hear, ask for it.  Or if you have a question you want to ask, if you're new to the hobby and aren't sure what to do, or if you just want to chat with like minded colectors and fans, come on over and join in.  You can find BBBB
